tool’ which is available at the link below:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1166126/cc_rdos_tool.xlsx"

</p><p>‘For trial' cases relates to the case type at the point of receipt into the
Crown Court - these are the cases that could go to trial, but they may not necessarily
result in a trial (i.e. if a guilty plea is entered). It is not currently possible
to separately identify cases which are awaiting a trial start from those which are
ongoing in the published statistics.</p>
